Amelanchier arborea (downy serviceberry) is a deciduous, multi-stemmed large shrub or small tree (\(15-40^{\prime }\) tall) known for early spring white flowers, edible purplish-black summer berries, and brilliant fall color. It features smooth grey bark, finely-toothed foliage, and is used for landscaping, bird habitat, and naturalizing. Key Characteristics Flowers: Showy, fragrant, white 5-petaled flowers bloom in drooping clusters in early spring (March–May), often before leaves fully emerge. Leaves: Simple, alternate, finely-toothed (serrate), and elliptical to ovate. They are covered in soft, downy hairs when young. Fruit: Small, edible pome fruits (berries) that turn from red to dark purplish-black, ripening in early summer. Bark: Smooth, greyish, often with a reddish cast or vertical white fissures. Fall Color: Good to excellent fall color ranging from yellow and orange to red. Size: Typically \(15-25^{\prime }\) tall in cultivation, but can reach \(40^{\prime }\) in the wild. Common Synonyms & Names Downy Serviceberry, Shadbush, Shadblow, Downy Shadbush, Common Serviceberry, and Juneberry. Usage Examples Landscaping: Ideal as a specimen tree, in shrub borders, or for naturalistic, woodland-edge plantings. Wildlife Support: Edible berries are highly attractive to birds and pollinators. Culinary: Fruit is used in jams, jellies, and pies. Urban Settings: Suitable for residential landscapes and, in some cases, urban approved planting. Amelanchier arborea prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil but is adaptable to various soil types. It is frequently used for year-round interest due to its flowers, fruit, fall foliage, and smooth bark.
Last call for imported dahlia tuber clumps and named calla lily bulbs. All going in the ground soon!
Hope your plants are enjoying the rain! Just recently listed some may breeze phlox I announced last fall. Fragrant and delightful!
Thanks for looking!
